Pike County Democrat, Volume 29, Number 9, Petersburg, Pike County, 8 July 1898 — Page 8

THIS IS DEMOCRACY. Alargs number of people are asking «s what is the policy of the Democratic ■party on the Hawaiian. Philippine and Porto Rioo aaneyation. It is impossible to answer this question at this time. The Democratic party, unlike the Republican party, is not operated by f junta. It makes its expressions known through the people in national convention assembled every four years. Whs,t the party as a whole believes about these questions will find expression in the platform of 1900. Until then every individual Democrat is fare to express his opinion and to endeavor to And expression for it iu the next nstional platform. This is Democracy, free opinion, truth .exp*^ed by the majority. We are of the opinion that the great masses of Democracy are favorable to the extension of the power of this republic, lif e want no colonies, hut we do want ooaiing stations We want the Nicaragua .canal, and the Democratic party will construct it. We want to drive England and every other foreign power ont o! the West Indies, and the Democratic party will do it We do not want an alliance with England or any other foreign power. The Republican party favors an alliance with England, favors British partnership in the Nicaragua canal and British partnership, in all our affairs, national and intentional. The next national convention of the Democratic party will draw the lines so plainly on these questions that every true American, whether adopted or native horn, will rally to its purpose.— National Democrat.

NOMINATE £9.00 MEN. MM WtM nod B® Chcwra to Fill JteMtf OWoe. Quay’s success iu buying and bulldozing the Pennsylvania Republican convention aud thus securing the nomination of his candidate for governor may prove the defeat of his parly in the Keystone State It is alleged that if the Democrate nominate the right man for governor they will be able to elect him. This condition of affairs is not peculiar to Pennsylvania All over the country fac£i are it evident that this yeag presents a great opportunity far the Democratic party. The people are disgusted with the hypocrisy and dishonesty of the Republicans and are ready to deprive them of the power which they have abused. Bui, as in Pennsylvania Democratic success requires that the right kind of men be nominated by the Democrate. However. Democratic success with the wrong kind of men for candidates would be worse than defeat, for the effect of electing incompetent or unsound meu this fall would be to imperil the .chanoee of victory in the campaign of 1PQ0. This paper has urged care in the wtattan of Democratic candidates for congress because such care will insure future victories. Let wise and loyal Democrats be chosen and let tbo cranks and the men of ope idea remain in the harmless seclusion of private life.—Chicago Dispatch. lUpublteu PuSdr. Senator Chandler of New Hampshire 4* about the only Republioan politician who is true to the St Louis platform. McKinley, Hanna A Co. used the St. Demis platform as a means to get into power and then they repudiated it, but Chandler is not that kind of a man. In discuasing the war revenue bill Senator .Chandler vigorously opposed the single gold standard and quoted from the records of McKinley, Allison and other Republicans to show that they had frequently voted for silver and had supported the Stanley Matthews resolution. Secretary Cage came in fear a sham of Chandler criticism and was ^charged with disregarding the 8t Louis platform. When McKinley voted for silver, a dollar was quoted at 03 cents. It was a dishonest dollar then. If MoKinley was honest then, he is dishonest paw. But if be was dishonest then the Republicans have raised a dishonest man to the position of chief executive of this nation. Republican hypocrisy received a sharp rebuke in she speech delivered by Chandler. The perfidy of the party was shown in a clear light.—Exchange.

▲ New Defaltioa. The word “plutocrat” does sot necessarily mean a rich man. It is a strange fact that a vast majority of plutocrats are poor men—financially as well as 'morally poor—while many wealthy people are the most genuine of democrats. A plutocrat is one who looks upon wealth as a warrant of respectability and with the right of industrial and political authority and of government of. by and far the pfoh. The toadies to wealth, the caterers to monopoly government, and the blind, unthinking artisan who votes and works for the party with a record advene to the popular interest is the meanest, most contemptible and most dangerous plutocrat, though not worth a dollar.—, jBtapdard (Mound City, Kan.). Mtaka Journal proudly insists; 1 is “honest money.” Suehi claptrap no longer deceive* the people. They remember the musi* to which protection was sot and sung. Because gold "is the rich man’s money it does not neeWarily make it honest in contradistinction to the poor man’s money. #1ver. In the fanning contest it will be found, will have lost their charm, and logic will win. The fad will be emphasized that silver and not gold is the honed money of this frit land.—Martinez County Pape*. The government of “checks and balances” is on* of checks to human programs and balances that throw the wealth fit the masses into the hands of the privileged f?w.—pmabarj American ft*#

The following essay on the mouth is from an exchange: Some mouths look like peaches and cream, and some like a hole chopped in a brick wall to admit & new door or window. The mouth is a hot-bed of toothaches, the bung hole of oratory and the baby's crowning glory. It is the patriot’s fountain head and the tool chest for fixe. Without it the politician would be a wanderer on the face of the earth, and the cornetist would go down to an unhonored grave. It is the grocer’s friend, the orator’s pride, and the dentist’s hope. i<ast Saturday night a store belonging to Eli jali Day is at Carbon mines, was entered by a burglar and goods and money to the amount of $13 was stolen. The store was entered from a rear window. The burglar pried open the shutter, raised the window and made an eutranee. The felt.ow that did the work was in the store in the afternoon, bought a lunch and was seen making, a close observation of the building. He is; a stranger there, having just dropped in that morning. A strong effort is being made to apprehend him and the probabilities are that he will be under arreat jo a I shoflt time.-— Winslow Era. Persons troubled with diarrhoea will be interested in the experience of Mr. W. M.j Bush, glerk of Hotel Dorranoe, Providence, R. J. He says: "For several year* 1 have ] been almost a constant sufferer from diar-1 rboea, the frequent attacks completely, prostrating me and rendering me unfit for my duties at this hotel. About two years ago a traveling salesman kindly gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's Cobe, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy. Much to my surprise and delight its effects were immediate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the disease I would fortify myself against the attack with a few doses of this valuable remedy. The result has been very satisfactory and almost complete relief from the affliction.” For sale by J. E. Adams & Son. j Frederick Ecus* died at hie borne in this city last Sunday, aged 70 years. The funeral services were conducted at the residence Tuesday morning by Rev. Sonne, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Interment at Walnut Hills cemetery. Mr. Reuss <wb« u> this place many years ago and engaged jn the harness and saddler’s trade and only a few years ago retired front an active business life of nearly a half century owing to a partial stroke of paralysis from which he never fully recovered. He was well known to all the old residents of Pike county with whom he done business. He was bom in Germany and came to the United States when a yoong man.. He leaves a wife, six daughters and two sons to mourn their joe*. The funeral was quite largely attended. j

Pikk county has a democratic official who is so .ecoiKwical that he never feeds his horse a livery stable except .when be brings a little feed to tojrn with Aim; Who never .takes a meal at * hotel or ,restaurant, but brings his dinner to town in a backet; who does not even step in Petersburg at night, but drives two or three miles mto the cuuntry to save a dime or two. Said official receives as a salary from the county nearly $1,000 a year. Of coarse this is a specimen of the economy Brother Stoops of the Democrat has been blowing about for some months. The Press is not .complaining, but some of the men who voted said officer in are now anxious to get a chance to vote him out. There is no #se to cry over spilled milk, gentlemen.—Petersburg Press. The aboye is intended as a slur at John B. McKinney, the present county assessor who is making a splendid official. Mr. McKinney is a farmer by occupation and thoroughly honest in every way. He is an economical citizen and a hard worker and. by his close attention to the duties of his office has succeeded in placing much omitted, property on the tax duplicate? of Pike county. It is ,no crime for a raau not to, put up at fix&class hotels, and it is no crime for a farmer to come to town and bring bis hor^efeed with him. Mr. McKinney it is; true does not board in town while here attending hjs official duties, but boards with an old neighbor friend who lives a short distance east of town. He has a perfect right £o dp this. The editor of the Press says he is not complaining, but those' who voted for Mr. McKinney are. $ot much. The only complaining that is being done is by the editor of the Press, who is the chairman of the republican party . It is reason* able to suppose that Mr. Mc&inney will not ask the aid or consent of the republican chairman as to where or with whom he shall stop or what he shall pay.

“The fourth at Otwejl ««f an enjoyable affair and the picnic was largely attemled in the afternoon. The jrain of the njorning which lasted until goon interfered with many attending, but there were nearly 1,000 persons present. The picnic.was held' in Hope’s grore west of town. At two o'clock the exercises at the stand commenced. Fred E. Chappell was the first speaker. After making a short address be read the Declaration off Independence. Revs, Godwin and Peyton and Dr. .G lessen, delivered patriotic addresses suitable to the occasion. Instrumental and vocal music was furnished by the Georgia plantation minstrels, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. The amusing features of the afternoon were the greased pole and the sack race. Several boys attempted to climb the pole but failed with the exception of Thaddeus Rhoades, who climbed to the top and pulled off the one dollar bill. There were five starters in the sack race, but only one, Robert McCane, reached the end ofi the course and received the priae. TheJ success of th* day’s celebratiou is due to; the efforts of John Braden, Luther Capehart and Ralph Davidson, who were untiring in their efforts* to have an old time celebration at Otwell. In the evening the Georgia minstrels gave an enteji-aiument at Clark’s hall which pleased the audience. The hall was not large enough to accommodate the people who desired to attend and many were turned away.
